RE: firing your doctor over questions they ask.

[buffalobo]

My doc ask me about guns during a recent check up. She asked where she could get a good deal on a G17 for a gift to her husband who wants to start shooting pistol matches.

Otherwise never been asked. Probably due to living in rural areas most of my life.

Yes and no. Here is why. All medical records are now electronic and accessible by my employer. Once everything is in place it will be real easy to cross them into a query to pull that info. I will leave it at that.

More reasons why I feel it is ridiculous that health care/insurance has become synonymous with employment in the US. What started as a benefit, a perk, an extra, has gone horribly sideways and now employers are too much in everyone's life, not just their professional life, but all life.

Yes and no. Here is why. All medical records are now electronic and accessible by my government. Once everything is in place it will be real easy to cross them into a query to pull that info. I will leave it at that.

I generally just say no on questions like that. That set of questions isn't all though.......IMO a lot of process and people in the medical field have gotten out of line and are seriously overstepping some boundaries in privacy and authority. I felt like pressing charges on the clinic up here after my 9 year old daughter went in for a physical before summer camp. They were way out of line, I'll just leave it at that.

If they ask those retarded question which is totally irrelevant, I change physician. I will also write that crap online.
It is as stupid as "Do you have a baseball bat? Do you keep that inside the locker all the time?"

If 100% of physicians in US asks those questions, I would get a physician in different country. I know a gal who flew 12 hour to different country for Lupus treatment, because US doesn't have that specific meds.

Strangely enough, I've never been asked but never worried about it much. Last year I had to bring the subject up with the surgeon that fixed up my collar bone, as to when i could safely start shooting again. He was cool with it and we got into a long discussion about hunting.
